MPs Must pay tax!

Dear Sir;

I am a registered voter in the Republic of Kenya and I spend approximately 12 hours a day in the Langata Constituency as I earn my living. I write to request you as our representative in Parliament to do the right thing and submit to the Commissioner of Domestic Taxes your PAYE as calculated below.

The deadline for submission of PAYE is normally the 9th of the month following the month when salary and allowances were earned.

A leader reflects his people and although in many ways this is not true in Kenya you can begin to show leadership by breaking ranks with the political class and, like the rest of us, pay your taxes.

Please note there is also a tax liability on interest free loans (usually the benefit is market rte less 3% what you are being charged).

Yours faithfully

Anthony Wangondu
